description

This article presents a review of the research on Data and Information Quality (DQ/IQ) assessment in engineering construction. Through a review of 445 articles on the topic, only nine were found in the context of engineering construction. The analysis of these nine articles revealed six challenges in performing DQ/IQ assessment in this context: the iterative nature of concurrent engineering, the uniqueness of engineering data, lack of integration between processes, lack of integration between systems, lack of timely information, and lack of relevant DQ/IQ assessment frameworks and tools. The specific contributions of this paper are the identification of DQ/IQ challenges in engineering construction, their consequences, and implications for the development of relevant DQ/IQ assessment frameworks and tools. Additionally, it also identifies an area where Information Systems research can contribute, thereby extending the reach of the discipline.
